Why suffer from a disease brought on by your exposure to a dangerous or hazardous substance whilst at work?The number of people making an industrial disease claim or industrial injury claim are not as numerous now as they once were, due mainly to generally improved work practices and conditions. However, there are many materials and substances, particularly chemicals and powders, which are used daily in many jobs. Industrial diseases result from exposure to substances or work practices in the workplace and go on to cause immediate or delayed health problems for the person exposed to them. Exposure to substances or having to perform your job in unsafe work practices can cause you to fall ill over a long period of time. For example, in the case of asbestos exposure, it is common for victims to remain well for 30 years or so until the fibres they have breathed in begin to cause health problems and associated diseases. Your employer has a duty of care towards you which means that they are responsible for your health whilst at work. If they are subjecting you to, or not offering a safer alternative to dangerous substances or practices whilst performing your job, then they are negligent in their duty of care and will become liable to pay you compensation for what you have suffered as a result of their failings.
